Let's hear your BEST musical joke?
Sometimes I'll tell a joke or two when we are out playing somewhere. Folks at the nursing homes seem to like a good joke. Mine are getting kind of stale so I need to learn a few new ones. Anybody got any good ones?

Re: Let's hear your BEST musical joke?
Ron... i would blame the lighting rigger for hanging the bar too low, and also wonder why there wasn't a stagehand with a flashlight ensuring that the band's thoroughfare was safe. says something about drummers though... after 3 musicians didn't see it...
if you call the drummer in earlier, they do come in handy for levelling the stage though... plus if you borrow a set of their sticks and leave them on the dash you get priority parking...

Re: Let's hear your BEST musical joke?
So this bluegrass band goes to Mexico, and is arrested for playing bluegrass music after dark, which is apparently a crime there. Justice being swift in Mexico, they are quickly sentenced and next morning at dawn, they find themselves before a firing squad.
El Capitan marches out the mandolin player, blindfolds him, and stands him up against a stone wall. "Ready..., Aim...," but before he can utter another syllable, the mandolin player yells, "EARTHQUAKE!!!" All the soldiers drop their rifles and hit the deck spread-eagled, waiting for the tremor. The mandolin player whips off the blindfold and leaps over the wall and escapes to freedom.
Now El Capitan is some PO'd! But, uindeterred, he marches out the guitar player, blindfolds him, and once more marshals his troops. "Ready..., Aim....," But the guitar player yells, "FLOOD!" and the soldiers all look around expecting to see a rushing wall of water! The guitar player, too, escapes over the wall to freedom.
By now El Capitan is seething! So he marches out the banjo player and blindfolds him. The banjo player is unafraid; he's been watching what's been going on and thinks he has spotted a definite pattern here... Once more El Capitan lines up his squad. "Ready..., Aim...,"
And the banjo player yells, "FIRE!!"

Re: Let's hear your BEST musical joke?
Three musical instruments are sitting in a bar and, after a few drinks, they begin boasting.
"I don't want to brag," says the first, "but I'm a drum. And drums, as I'm sure you know, were the first instruments in the history of the world, used not only for music but also for long range communication and even to motivate soldiers in a time of war. Just about every style of music uses drums of some sort -- hell, there probably wouldn't even be music it if wasn't for us."
"Drums are great, if you only want to play one note," the second instrument cuts in. "But as piano, I have 88 keys to choose from. Most of the great classical music was written with me in mind, and even today my cousin, the keyboard, is central to the creation of modern music."
"Don't talk to me about modern music," scoffs the third instrument. "I'm a guitar, and while you old-timers may have been big in your day, it's the 21st century now. And it's guitars like me that have made rock & roll the most popular music in the world today."
The second instrument sizes up the third skeptically, and then says "What are you talking about? You're not a guitar, you're nothing but a small harp."
And the third instrument leaps off of his stool and shouts, "Are you calling me a lyre?!"

Re: Let's hear your BEST musical joke?
Oh HARP jokes...
A great composer, after a lifetime of decadence and debauchery dies and goes to the Bad Place. When he arrives he is treated well and sits down to dinner with the Devil, who is by all accounts a gracious host. After dinner, the Devil shows him his room. Inside are 1,001 musicians, each playing a harp.
The composer looks at his host and says, "wait, I'm in Hell, I thought they played harps in heaven."
The Devil smiles and replies, "ah yes, but Maestro, we've also given you perfect pitch."
More on drummers:
A drummer decides he's tired of being picked on by musicians, and he's going to learn to play other instruments. He goes into his local music store and goes up to the counter. He says "I need a pack of light gauge guitar strings, and I want to buy that cool looking red trumpet and that accordion too," he adds pointing.
"Well," says the owner, "here's your guitar strings, and I guess I can sell you the fire extinguisher, but the radiator is bolted to the wall."
